Full directional closures of a 6-mile stretch of Interstate 15 are planned for consecutive weekends starting later this month near the station corridor for a “Pave-A-Thon” event.

The marathon repaving work will take place on I-15 between Flamingo and Warm Springs roads, with northbound lanes closed July 26-29, and southbound lanes closed the following weekend, Aug. 2-5, the Nevada Department of Transportation announced Monday.

Repaving operations along the northbound section of I-15 will occur between 9 p.m. July 26 and 5 a.m. July 29. The northbound portion of I-15 between Russell and Flamingo roads will reopen at 5 a.m. July 28, while the section between Russell and Warm Springs is expected to reopen at 5 a.m. July 29, according to NDOT.

Over the following weekend, southbound repaving operations along the stretch will take place between 9 p.m. on August 2 and 9 p.m. on August 5. This closure includes southbound I-15 between Flamingo and Warm Springs for the duration of the repaving.

Although not directly related to the ongoing I-15/Tropicana interchange project, the repaving of the highway was included in the project contract due to the improvements needed along the stretch and the availability of existing equipment.

Several traffic signs and two active traffic management signs will also be added north of the Tropicana interchange as part of this work.
